Thames Valley Police will have to destroy the mugshots of innocent people after a landmark court case ruled that keeping them was a breach of human rights.
The High Court ruled last week that police forces should no longer retain pictures of suspects who were never charged.
The decision came after a 15-year-old boy from Peckham, South London, brought the case to court.
He was arrested on suspicion of rape but no charges were brought.
